Metal desks are not widely practiced yet. They are mostly used either in cases, where conditions don’t allow to use friendlier to a man materials, or there, where the style called "techno" got accustomed. To manufacture such desks both steel with different coverings and light alloys with aluminum and titanium can be used.

When setting up your workstation, the most important measurement will be the desired height of your computer desk. Once you have your desk configured properly, you then can adjust the computer desk chair to the height of your workstation. For example, your elbows should be at a 90-degree angle when you place your hands on your desk. If they are not, adjust your chair up or down until your elbows are the right angle. You also want to make sure you are allowing your gaze to easily fall into the middle of the computer screen. You may be unconsciously straining your neck if your gaze falls to high or to low.

A dedicated pair of computer glasses will always work wonders, or if you want to save money a clip-on computer reading lens with the correct power magnification will solve the problem. This additional mid-range power will change the upper distant portion of the glasses to arm’s length computer distance. The clip-on user can see the computer screen without lifting their chin up and having to reposition themselves closer to the screen. This will immediately ease eyestrain and back pain associated with poor visual and physical posturing.
